Welcome to Lynsie Loves Literature

Hi! My name is Lynsie and I love to read. I started this blog without the intention of anyone actually seeing it, so if you're here, welcome!

What kind of books do I read?
Favorite genres: YA/NA fantasy, science fiction, memoir, contemporary
I'm trash for a good high fantasy or paranormal romance series! I love YA and highly prefer series over standalone. I also can find a book enjoyable solely for plot/characters, in spite of "bad writing" (a guilty pleasure, honestly).

On this blog I will be posting reviews and popular book tags. I love Booktube, so I draw a lot of inspiration from there.

Here is a guide to my rating system:
5 stars: Not only do I love this book, but it made me feel a very intense feeling. Usually a book that makes me so happy that I actively look up fan art/merch of the book/series later, so sad that I cry, or so angry that I want to punch a wall (it is my personal opinion that an author that can make you feel any emotion very intensely has made an effective piece of literature).
4 stars: I really like this book, and I would recommend it to almost anyone.
3 stars: This book is fine, but I didn’t feel much reading it. There way be minor details about the writing or plot devices that bother me. I may recommend this book to people with different reading tastes than me.
2 stars: I have major problems with aspects of this book. I could suggest many things I didn’t like about it, and I would not like to read it again. I will not recommend this book.
1 star: This book had a lot of problems! I found myself incredulous while reading at how unenjoyable or illogical it was, or I was so bored that i wanted to DNF.

A couple more general things:

• I do not DNF! It may take me months to finish a book because I dislike it, but I will eventually finish it.
• I have to read books in a series all together. The exception is if it's a new series so the books are only coming out once a year. It is for this reason that I tend to wait until an entire series is published to start it. I may also do a review of books as a series, rather than reviewing the individual books.
• I might recommend books that I myself did not enjoy. I can appreciate that people have different book tastes, especially if my opinion on a book is an unpopular one.

Thanks for checking out my page! You can find me on Goodreads under my user name Lynsie Daniels.

Happy reading!
